Fietsparadijs

The Flemish region of Limburg is known as "Fietsparadijs", which means "biking paradise". I have to admit that I agree with this title as there is a huge network of well-marked bike trails throughout the region. It's also very flat and green. While other regions in Flanders have great bike networks as well, I find Limburg to be one of the prettier parts.
Rick had still not replaced his stolen bike so we decided to go to the Hoge Kempen park and rent some. They gave us these bright green bikes that had "Fietsparadijs" written on them. At first glance, I thought they were going to be pretty basic. But they turned out to be really good bikes. We followed a beautiful trail that weaved in and out of the park's bounderies.
As usual, we ended our day with a trip to a couple of beer bars in the area. One of which was our old favorite the Wedelse Molen.
I apologize once again for all of the derriere shots. Rick was taking pictures while riding. I need to start making sure that I'm riding behind him :-)
